'Energy Hook' Coming to Steam Early Access - Trailer

Energy Hook is a grapple-and-swing-and-run-on-walls-for-style game developed by Jamie Fristrom, creator of the Spider-Man 2 game.

Energy Hook athletes use their jury-rigged gravity beams to perform death-defying stunts. Fall great distances and use your momentum to launch yourself to dizzying heights! Run on walls, and perform loops, spins, and aerial tricks!

You play as Delilah, one-time Energy Hook great who has been out of the competition for years--raising her daughter--and now needs to get back in to pay for her daughter's medical bills. Maybe not as daunting as it sounds, with the anti-aging medical technology of The Future, but still, she'll have to learn the ropes all over again, as she competes to earn her way back up to the top of the Energy Hook league. An old friend, crippled in an Energy Hook accident, will help her through these tough channels and the changes that have happened in the sport since her heyday.

It has been two years since his unconventional Kickstarter (where he raised $41k with a funding goal of $1 - 4 million percent funded!) and Energy Hook has come a long way.

The game, by aging Spider-Man 2 developer Jamie Fristrom AKA Happion Labs, is launching on Steam Early Access on August 13th at 4:30 PM PST.

Energy Hook challenges you to chain together sequence of tricks, wall-runs, and stylish moves for massive scores; hurtle through time challenges by using tricks to gain speed; and seek out collectibles hidden throughout the levels.

Much like a graphic novel might have different chapters by different artists, Energy Hook showcases the work of several different artists: the organic floating islands of Keegan O'Rourke; the dystopian future city of Killst4r; the soft, pastel colored buildings of Paul Whitehead; and the virtual realities of Antonio Revard.

Energy Hook is a challenging game that requires a great deal of finesse and practice to master! Do you have what it takes?
